What are the joys of earth to one
Who sees the Master’s face
What is the shining of the sun
Beside the Master’s grace
Before the splendor of his worth
Our earthly lights are dim
We gladly leave the things of earth
To follow after him
His love has blessed us all our days
His care each gift bestows
He leadeth us beside the ways
Where living water flows
And if we follow in his lead
Whatever may befall
His gifts shall satisfy each need
Sufficient unto all
Thy care has crowned our every hour
Be with us still, O Lord
First the full bud, and then the flower
Shall blossom at Thy word
Unto this waiting heart of mine
Reveal Thy perfect grace
And let me see, by love divine
The shining of thy face
His love has blessed us all our days
His care each gift bestows
He leadeth us beside the ways
Where living water flows
And let me see, by love divine
The shining of thy face
